Fracture Fixation and Implants

Outcome of nonunion fractures in dogs treated with fixation, compression resistant matrix, and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2

Nonunion fractures given a poor prognosis via standard-of-care treatment were successfully repaired using CRM with rhBMP-2 accompanying fixation

Evaluation of three human cervical fusion implants for use in the canine cervical vertebral column

Based on study results, the 3 locking plate designs cannot be recommended for use in dogs requiring cervical fusion

Early clinical experience with a newly designed interlocking nail system-Targon(®) Vet

An alternative system for diaphyseal fracture repair in cats and small dogs

Kirschner wire fixation of Salter-Harris type IV fracture of the lateral aspect of the humeral condyle in growing dogs. A retrospective study of 35 fractures

Multiple transcondylar convergent or parallel Kirschner wires resulted in adequate fracture healing

Biomechanical comparison of two ostectomy configurations for partial mandibulectomy

No significant differences in load to failure or stiffness between ostectomy techniques were observed

Biomechanical comparison of 2 veterinary locking plates to monocortical screw/polymethylmethacrylate fixation in canine cadaveric cervical vertebral column

Monocortical fixation with two 3.5 mm SOP or two 2.4 mm Ti recon plates may be an alternate fixation to monocortical screws and PMMA

Inter- and intra-observer variability of radiography and computed tomography for evaluation of Zurich cementless acetabular cup placement ex vivo

assessment of inter- and intra-observer measurement of ALO and version angle was more reproducible using CT images

The effect of intramedullary pin size and plate working length on plate strain in locking compression plate-rod constructs under axial load

The increase in plate strain encountered with a long working length can be overcome by the use of a pin of 30-40% intramedullary diameter

Clinical evaluation of a mini locking plate system for fracture repair of the radius and ulna in miniature breed dogs

An effective treatment method for fractures with a radial width smaller than 5.5 mm.

One-stage revision of an infected cementless total hip replacement

A successful procedure in a case of multi-drug resistant periprosthetic infection
